Back in May, LinkedIn launched its social new product LinkedIn Today, with more easier to navigate by completely re-imagining the look and feel of the product. Moving a step further, the company has now announced the addition of two new features to LinkedIn Today: liking and trending. Here’s a full rundown on the features:

Commenting & Liking: Sometimes the commentary about a news article can be just as insightful as the article itself. To that end, articles on LinkedIn Today will now include social gestures which will enable our 161 million member professionals to engage and create a dialogue around the news headlines that matter most to them, as well as learn what is currently trending online. This means, members will be able to see a snapshot of what’s top of mind among their professional networks.

Trending in Your Network: LinkedIn Today was built on the premise of providing a relevant, customizable news experience based on key news and updates trending in your industry and the other industries you choose to follow. Starting today, we will begin rolling a new tab called “Trending in Your Network.” By simply clicking on this tab, members will have yet another filter to sort through all of the professional news articles and industry updates, based on those articles that are currently the most popular among members of their professional networks, regardless of their industry.
